Ayham Hammour (piano)About
Sonata no.2 is one of the most frequently performed piano works, while both are characterised by an abundance of varied motifs and themes, with a predominance of tragic and melancholic moods.
The Etudes-Tableaux are of a programmatic nature, although the composer allowed a personal interpretation of their contents. 'Music is born in the heart and speaks to the heart,' these are the words of Rachmaninov himself, who thus emphasised the importance of personal reflection and emotional communication in music.
This message is perfectly conveyed by a pianist born in Damascus, associated with the Polish musical community; he has outstanding technical skills, but puts them in second place. His interpretations are characterised by an exuberant expression, nostalgia, excellent time management (from restraint to bravado) and, above all, a precise shape of the multi-faceted structure of a given composition.
